Topic: [Updated August 2023] How many banned users have you merited? (Read 2170 times)

It took me a while, but I finally realized it is too much trouble I'm ending this project now.

I took the lazy route and deleted the files with glitch, because it came from much deeper, starting with my very large HTML file of all Merit transactions. I should probably just abandon that one, it's too big. I'm not sure yet where it went wrong. For now, it's not that important anyway. Thank for finding it though, it confirms once again that I need a database for this data....

W0w, quite a few pop right out and the first one I checked had neg trust for farming/selling.

Eternal shame, thanks for that

I don't know what went wrong, I made some changes to get my 4 years old script working again. I'll fix it later, I'm out with the kids now.

Hihi, looking at this topic, 4 years ...damn!
I saw that I asked about percentages at that time but if it's possible and really not time-consuming as it's not that important, it's merit after all, not a crime, can you sort this by the amount of merit sent to now banned users? Just out of curiosity because it might just happen that some who merited 100 banned users might have sent them fewer merits than ones who did so to ten.
Again, if it's not too much trouble, ChatNL, LoyceV!

Don't know if it's a temporary glitch but I'm sure at point 11 that wasn't supposed to look like that!

Without looking too deep into the data, at first glance it looks like most of the users who are likely to have abused Merit by sending it to alt accounts have been banned.

Try again, it wasn't updated yet.

The site only shows me two users? So where are the other 11 coming from?

Pretty funny to see who I merited back when this all started.

Time for an update!

Yes, but in theory since every merit you get gives you a fraction of a merit to send they are being removed from circulation.
And, I know more merits are being added by merit source.

Also, and this is just my opinion. WHY a user was banned matters. I have seen people banned for plagiarism and their older posts are still up some of which were plagiarized. So you could have still merited them, eventually they were removed but you (not you LoyceV the you in general) could have merited a plagiarized post from a banned user and then that post could have been removed.

All of it is 100% irrelevant, but I just thought that it would be an interesting thing to see.

Enjoy the weekend.

BPIP has data on when a user was banned. It doesn't really matter though: Merit is for posts, and banned users can still have good posts.

Which is kind of a bummer because it would be really interesting to see how many posts / users were give merits after they were banned.
Does not really matter but would still be an interesting piece of data to have.

Would also be interesting to see how many users that have been inactive for years and years had their posts merited.

-Dave

I'll create an update, but not now because it takes some time.

See https://loyce.club/Merit/history/359716.html, search for "Banned!".

Interesting stats.
So, I gave merits to 6 banned users?
http://loyce.club/Merit/banned/334636.html
I checked all this posts and still think that all the merits were fully deserved.
In fact, I feel that some users deserve another chance and permaban forgiveness but it's another topic, obviously.

Given that other merit stats pages show number of merits (not users) and this particular page is not making any claims to the contrary - doesn't look like a bug.

It shows the following banned users that I have sent merit to:
TimeBits
Sharon121212
vit05
Virtual miner
Alinaa
vucuong16101997

This is 6 people, and 'stats=topsendban' says I have sent merit to 18 permabanned users.

I have however sent a total of 18 merit to the above users in the last 6 months. Perhaps there is a bug.

edit: I am fairly confident this is in fact a bug, and that it is showing the number of merit sent to permabanned users, not the number of permabanned users that the person sent merit to.

It's based on merit sent in the past 180 days.

See http://loyce.club/Merit/history/358020.html for most of them highlighted.

I noticed my ranking is unusually high on this list. There was a time not long ago when I had not ever sent merit to anyone who subsequently got banned.

Does anyone know if the above link is by ban date, or by the date the merit is sent?

There are actually quite a lot of reputable people on this list who have sent merit to a lot of banned users.

Thanks! My LIST Banned users had a problem at that time, so it didn't remove him when he posted. Vphasitha01 should be off the list on my next update (but I won't update old posts in this thread).

Bans are often for plagiarism, which means the Merit should have been sent to the original post.
But indeed, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm currently at 25 Merit sent to banned users in the past 180 days. That's about 1% of what I've sent.

Does anyone want to see an update?

I would agree with this.

We don't publicly show which users are "banned" by displaying a banner under the name or avatar, and we don't display trust in forums where people aren't (generally) trading. We don't do these things, because to do so would bias people against responses from users which have been banned or red trusted, when what they have posted might be completely correct, accurate, insightful, useful, and so on. There are a quite a few users now who are on a signature ban for plagiarism, who have made many good and constructive posts, but who would have had a "banned" banner across their posts in the past.

I've merited posts from banned users, and I've even merited posts from users I myself am responsible for getting banned. I've merited users I have left red trust for, and I've merited users I have excluded from my trust list. Merit should be seen more as "This is a constructive post, the forum needs more posts like this", regardless of who made the post.

I don't think merits sent to a banned user are wasted. They still indicate an opinion about the merited post, and this serves as an example. They can only be considered as wasted if you believe the sole function of merits is as a ranking tool. I believe this is a secondary purpose, and the main use is to encourage good posting, and to guide users to follow community guidelines.

Actually, the appeal topic was created by this user with the result that the ban has been lifted: Ban Appeal from a Member [vphasitha01]

There are at least two more evidence that @vphasitha01 has never permanent banned.
(1) We have never seen ban appeal for that account.
(2) That account sent first sMerit after months, on 20th August 2019, here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52204192
I read somewhere months ago that permanent banned accounts are unable to send sMerits to others (after theymos stepped in and reverted merit transactions from abused accounts months ago). I just read, and honestly did not see original post on restriction on ability to send sMerits from perma-banned accounts. So, by the way, if someone know it, please share it here. I much appreciated your help.

vphasitha01 posted a comment in the last month, so this user is not banned.

I love stats so I appreciate all the efforts made on lists, graphs even and data collected like this.

I wont regret giving Merits to newbies for making a good forum post especially those with zero Merit because I think thats the first purpose of the Merit, to kick start people in the right direction on the forum.    I do think Merit system might be slightly illiquid in circulating Merit but its deliberately deflationary I guess.     Merit to lowest post counts, newbie accounts has got to be the most risky allocation of Merits because those profiles are new, unknown to the forum and the main danger I think is that they made a good post but they took it from somewhere else and its not their content.

The sort by percentage long list is the one I rate as it seems to correlate far more with bad instances and that catching upto the issuer as well.   Also I'm much lower by percentage so I prefer that one

I'll run an update

If he posts again, I'll remove him from my banned-list.

(I've cut it short here, I'll post the full list in Archival, sorted by percentage.
There are some problems with my script, and I don't really have time to fix it now, so no further updates

I will like to see in a new list in which you can maintain List of unbanned user to track these kind of cases. You can start with ChiBitCTy that still show in your report as merit sent to banned user.

I will be surprised if vphasitha01 is banned for plagiarism because he is fully aware of rules and preached them to others also.
If you notice he posted just 3 post (that is also for betting, not in forum discussion) in his last 15 days before he stopped posting completely.

Unbans aren't published in modlog. If a Mod can confirm vphasitha01 is still not banned, I'll remove him from [ LIST] Banned users. Since he last posted in November, he might have been banned again.

@r1s2g3, Likely somebody had reported him a second time for plagiarism.

I'm pretty positive he is currently banned and him not posting for almost five months now would explain that.


I obviously missed his first ban/unban story too.

I know vphasitha01  was permanently banned for plagiarism charges but later unbanned after finding that Medium article was plagiarized and source put by   vphasitha01  was correct one. Unfortunately bpip and maybe LoyceV system do not track these "unbanned"  changes.

Bump

This is what I called their merited posts like pseudo-qualitied ones.
The orginial purpose of merit system is giving constructive, high qualited posts merits as rewards for their contributions to the forum.
Therefore, it is reasonable and acceptable if merit sources simply and immediately send their sMerits to high qualitied, constructive posts.
Due to massive abusements and autobanned merit-receivers, I think it should be better if merit sources spend a couple of seconds to scan post histories of posters if merit sources saw their likely constructive posts.
It's not required by theymos, of course, and as I pointed out above, it's not main tasks of merit sources.
Anyway, if merit sources have spare time, they should scan post histories before sending their sMerits away.

I was at 5% which is better then the 11% average. I also  have not had one in a while.

I used to go through long lists of newbies in an effort to help them when they lost rank.

I think four of my bad ones were from the lists I checked.

The list had 5000 names and I went through thousands of names. Found very few to merit and it looks like they turned bad anyway.

Just by confirming what I thought you made me imagine how much time and effort you give before you even send merits away to members. With that kind of low percentage it only means that you never let your guard down when it comes to newbies, the 3 banned users you have given merits to (zentdex, rickadone, and LuanX3) are all  high ranking members which I myself don't even expect plagiarising content. I wouldn't even consider this a mistake as you don't expect them to do this kind of things.

Correct. Every time I find a post by a newbie worth meriting, I first check if it's plagiarised. More often than not it is, with the result that the user gets banned instead of merited. I'll also check the rest of their post history for consistency, on the assumption (which is almost always correct) that a lone good post amongst a large number of shitposts is plagiarised even if I can't prove it.

I'm actually disappointed that so few users survive my checks, but being at the bottom isn't always a bad thing.

Foxpup has "only" merited 265 unique users, but indeed, his 1.13% puts him almost at the bottom of the list.

And as I said before: there's no shame in this list as long as you're a good user

I guessed that its inevitable to see merit sources part of the list here, you may never know and control what members will do after they receive the merit/s you have sent to them. It is like most of them are likely to plagiarize more after they become more desperate on receiving more merits. To my surprise as well Foxpup even though is a top 5 merit sender in the forum didn't show up in the top 200 of the list he was in fact ranked 5041st with 3 banned users (one of which is zentdex), the only thing I can think of why he has a few banned user under his name is he does a thorough background check before he sends some merit to the user.

I have new Merit data, but it takes many posts (in Archival) to create an update. If anyone's interested in an update (now or 6 months from now), just ask.

Yes, I used the same X-axis scale in the chart above. As a result, I aggregated the number of banned and non-banned users.

I can create a new chart that shows only the lines with a transparent background. In this case, I will not aggregate the values, so the line showing banned users will be drawn below the line showing non-banned users.

I known.
I don't know how the graph creator made it, but the graph should have two x-axis scales, right?
The current one is likely for un-banned newbies, I guess.
There are two graphs overlap each other, but it should have two x-axis scales.
Or if only one x-axis scale used, the graph (lighter color) for banned newbies should be in the bottom, below the darker one, as you said.

Only the lighter color represents banned Newbies, so the small top of the graph.
It would indeed be better to draw them at the bottom of the graph.

Great initiative to dig deeper finding what happened due to the demotion of Junior Members in September 2018.
In the chart above, there is a break point in mid of September. I think that it makes lot of sense.
After the demotion implemented, there were massive merit abusements in the forum, lots of Junior Members demoted got promoted again due to merit abusements.
Personally, there is a hypothesis that massive newbies got their first merits due to merit abusements after Sep. 2018, or due to their successfully pseudo-quality posts.
Eventually, most of them got banned.

---

The chart probably presents wrong x-axis scale, you stated there are 1934 newbies got banned, but the chart shows nearly 10k newbies got banned.
You should clarify it a little bit if the chart is right, or should correct it if it is wrong.

Thanks for mentioning my chart which shows how many newbies received at least 1 merit since September 17, 2018.



Your list of banned users is helpful.

I also decided to extend the time interval of my previous chart up to January 24, 2018, and I got the following:



As I can see, 1934 newbies are already banned since the day the merit system was implemented on the forum.



foserfox is probably a hacked profile who sent merits to farmed accounts mostly in the russian local board, but I'm sure that the merit source EFS who is the moderator of the turkish local board didn't know that the users merited by him would be banned. I think this is absolutely normal.



I always select this checkbox when I publish my TOP-200 ratings, so as not to show the "cool" smile.

So, it looks that I have merited 2 users who got banned later. Well, not that bad, but still, sad for wasted merits... I see that one of these users got quite many Merits...
11.26% of users who ever got Merit is permanently banned now. It's huge number I think...

Plagiarism would be my guess too.

This is a bit of an eye opener for me. I had no idea that so many accounts I’d merited have been banned here. Is it correct to assume that a majority of them were banned for plagiarism?

Whatever ideas you come up with
Thank you so much for the list... i have analyzed my details briefly.
at 3-4 of the 7 users it concerns i didn't know that they are no longer in the forum. again and again exciting such lists that you can find here in the meta area (from you)

Well my data seems pretty reasonable: 11 merited banned users (3,20% out of the 343 people I’ve merited), representing 23 sMerits (1,77%  out of 1.302 sMerits sent as of last Friday). Breaking it down by last rank of the banned user, I have merited: 1 Hero, 1 Sr. Member, 2 Full Members, 3 Members, 2 Jr. Members, 1 Newbie, and 1 Brand New.

Two banned names did surprise me, although I had already seen it at some point: @zentdex and @vphasitha01.

LOL, I love smileys.
The icon help me relax a little bit.
Sometime we need to see funny things, not serious ones all the time.

Wow!  I honestly was not expecting to be that high up on the list.  I haven't gone through the ranks of each of those banned members I've merited, but I'm guessing that those were cases of me trying to help newbies out, probably in the Economics section.  I don't usually give merits to noobs in Meta or Reputation.  Very interesting.

Still, I don't regret giving out those merits, since it was all done in good faith and I had no idea they'd get banned.  Obviously those were wasted merits, but you just can't know ahead of time whether someone is going to turn out to be a plagiarist or a ban evader or whatever.  I don't think I gave out merits to copy/pasted posts, as I always check before meriting a newbie's post.

Oh well.  This won't deter me from trying to help lower-ranked members, though lately I haven't seen much in the way of quality from the noobs.  My new PC has not arrived yet, so I haven't been browsing as much as I'd like to.  Nice analysis, OP.

I wonder how many of those non-banned accounts who have sent all their merits to banned accounts are actually alts of each other?

Bookmarking this and will check as soon as I can even though I ain't no alts expert.

For the record, I have just two 2 such merits. One is sent to vphasitha01, I remember his 'ranking up' thread, didn't know he was banned...

I like the percentage statistic actually whereas the built in top senders to perma banned users only gives total merit sent. Nice little touch including the actual posts merited too, and checking mine I believe the majority deserved some merit. Although, some are now gone, and not viewable I think I remember those users at least being capable of creating good content occasionally.

Thanks, fixed!

@Loyce. I went to your full list and noticed that when an 8 appears, you get  (. Maybe use brackets instead.

Banning some of those users really looks like a loss for the forum, but I have no doubt there's a good reason.

I've made a top-list sorted by percentage. To make the list shorter, I've left out the users who only merited 1 banned user.
Sorting this way is quite nice, it brings the banned users to the top of the list, while the innocent ones are at the bottom.
The ones at the top (that aren't banned) might be interesting to check for abuse (but don't start a witch hunt based on this!).

Thanks for the information. Looking at my own list (http://loyce.club/Merit/banned/359716.html), i can't understand why the members are banned even though they went as far as to analysis malicious chrome add-ons and make detailed guide for air-gapped wallet.

Any plans to add "banned users merited by ranks"? It would be great to see such info since there are times when member with high-rank and made really good/useful posts got banned.

Probably ranking by the percentage of merited users that got banned would be a better indicator than the raw number in this case. Most of the users that got themselves banned in that list have a rate at around 30-40% so that would be a start.



Also, we have 1752 users who have sent all their merits to users that got banned? 

I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of (and that's not why I created this topic).

Yes. I don't have data on temporary bans.

All true This is not a list of shame for good users, but I think it can be used to find merit abuse from "bad users" too.

In the past I have merited a post which I then myself reported for plagiarism an hour later and got the user banned. It's simply not possible to double check every post or post history prior to awarding merit, just as it isn't realistic to expect people to check Loyce's or Vod's sites for every single post to see if a user is banned prior to meriting them. If possible, I would like to always avoid meriting plagiarism, but being banned doesn't automatically negate everything that user has ever posted, and some of their other posts may well be merit worthy.

Help me to understand. All these members are permanently banned?

I see BTCeminjas, iqrasalsabila, vphasitha01 had quite good activities in the forum and not only received merit from me but also from other users. They were doing very well in the forum.

It looks as if I awarded meits to 15 subsequently banned members. I'm going to have to ignore this fact, as it is hrd enough to find post to reward, and I've had to cut down on post history research. Looking at it from a strict perspective, I believe that merits are related to specific posts and/or threads, and not to posters behaviour. The trust/reputation system should take care of that, and the mods of course.

I don't believe it would be right to avoid meriting posts of red trusted members. Of course there is the issue of meriting posts AFTER the poster has been banned, and I don't think that should be done. That raises the issue of included the banned status in the displayed profile.

It is normal to see many merit sources in the list of top senders to perma-banned users.
I don't doubt about the standpoint and strictly rules of merit sources on quality of posts before they send their sMerits to those ones.
I don't think merit sources abuse their allocated sMerits because they are the most reliable, well-known members of forum.
It's really scarce to see merit sources removed by theymos more than one year after the start of merit system.
It is probably that those newbies or those users (at higher ranks) tried making pseudo-quality posts to get merit, or at least only one merit.
Then, after that or during most of their time spent in the forum, they mostly made shitty one, and violate forum rules like plagiarism that in turn led them to bans.
